## Abstract The internal mammary lymph node chain has been studied in patients with breast cancer by radioiosotope imaging. The technique enabled the study of lymph node function in an area inaccessible to clinical examination or lymphography. Thirty-four patients with breast cancer have been stud
The risk of an internal mammary lymph node (IMN) metastasis and its prognostic value for patients with invasive breast cancer were assessed by evaluating 142 patients who had either a mastectomy with lymph node dissection or a biopsy of the IMN. By univariate analysis, overall survival significantly
